Abstract
Multiphase phenomena in the application of in-mold electromagnetic stirring in continuous casting were discussed through cold experiment using mercury and numerical simulation by using two fluid model. The result revealed the critical flow rate of argon injected in the submerged entry nozzle, which leads to the change in flow pattern in the bulk liquid metal inside the mold pool. This change does not have a large effect on the flow driven by in-mold electromagnetic stirring because the Lorentz force acts mainly in the vicinity of solidifying shell except for the case of large amount of the argon flow rate. The particle behavior under in-mold electromagnetic stirring in the vicinity of the solidifying shell was also discussed by solving near-wall fluid flow and employing the particle tracking method, which showed the important effect of lift force by the increase in velocity inclination near the solidifying shell by electromagnetic field.
